After the exposure of the U.S. "Prism" program, it raised serious concerns about China's information security, highlighting the significant risks associated with government and enterprise data protection. However, many misconceptions have emerged regarding the use of CAD/CAM industrial design software in domestic enterprises. Industry experts and scholars have offered various insights on how to overcome these misunderstandings.
**Myth 1: Foreign software is better? Domestic solutions can be just as secure and strategic!**
According to media reports, Edward Snowden revealed that major global IT companies like Cisco, IBM, Google, Qualcomm, Intel, Apple, Oracle, and Microsoft were involved in the "Prism Gate" surveillance program. These well-known brands dominate critical sectors such as postal services, finance, railways, civil aviation, healthcare, and military operations. Although these companies have denied any involvement, the media has pointed out a heavy reliance on foreign brands by Chinese governments and enterprises. Many manufacturing companies, especially those using 3D CAD software for core data management, still depend heavily on foreign solutions due to early market entry and limited alternatives.
But are foreign solutions always better? A survey by China Mobile shows that domestic 2D and 3D CAD software can now meet the practical needs of the machinery industry in terms of functionality and service. In fact, some foreign 3D CAD software has been found to contain security vulnerabilities, such as backdoor leaks, which pose a threat to national security. As a result, state authorities have warned military enterprises to stop using certain foreign software to prevent data breaches. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also compiled a list of recommended software brands, promoting high-quality domestic 3D CAD solutions for military use.
Song Xiaogang, vice president of the China Machinery Industry Federation, emphasized that software copyright is a crucial part of the integration of the two industries. With increasing security incidents involving foreign software, the adoption of domestic 3D CAD tools is becoming more strategically important.
**Myth 2: Pirated software is cost-effective? Genuine software ensures peace of mind!**
Some companies use pirated or cracked versions of 2D/3D CAD/CAM software to cut costs. However, this not only compromises system stability but also poses serious security risks. Some pirated software may come preloaded with malware, leading to data theft and internal resource leaks. Moreover, using pirated software means no access to official support, updates, or technical assistance, which can lead to long-term operational issues.
Chen Wei, director of the Software Services Division at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that the core value of software lies in meeting user needs effectively. Genuine software provides reliable functionality and enhances information security. Authorities have also encouraged the procurement of domestic software, given the improved acceptance and quality of local solutions.
**To ensure national information security, China must develop its own industrial software**
Although China’s CAD software still lags behind developed countries, it has made rapid progress in recent years. Domestic solutions now offer cost-effective 2D and 3D CAD/CAM options tailored for local enterprises. For example, many businesses do not require highly complex 3D systems, and simpler software can meet their needs without unnecessary expenses.
Zhongwang Software, a leading Chinese CAD company, has become the first to successfully export domestic CAD technology overseas. With over 80 countries and regions covered, the company has developed a range of products, including its 3D CAD/CAM solution, which integrates design and manufacturing. It is the only global vendor with independent intellectual property rights in 2D and 3D CAD/CAM software. Zhongwang is also the preferred brand for military enterprises, offering secure, cost-effective solutions that are increasingly recognized by top-tier manufacturers worldwide.
Before the “Prism Gate†incident, experts had already called for stronger national-level information security measures. Academician Ni Guangnan from the Chinese Academy of Engineering highlighted the importance of learning from international practices, particularly after cases like Huawei and ZTE facing restrictions in the U.S. market.
In conclusion, relying on foreign 3D CAD software is not a sustainable strategy. China needs to develop its own industrial software with independent intellectual property to ensure national security and support the transformation of its manufacturing sector. Only through such efforts can China truly protect its information infrastructure and maintain control over its digital future.
